Many women look to model and Loose Women co-host Penny Lancaster for style tips as a figure who always looks effortlessly glam and the picture of femininity. But after sustaining an injury abroad, a torn meniscus in her right knee as revealed by Penny's spokesperson to the Daily Mail, she has embraced the change whole-heartedly in a major style switch-up that we couldn't love more.
The 52-year-old wife of rock legend Sir Rod Stewart attended the Jimmy Choo London Fashion Academy VIP Event wearing a totally different look. Penny made the power suit cool in a white oversized blazer with a pair of wide-leg black suit trousers.
The mother-of-two leaned into the masc suit aesthetic and pulled the look together with a black skinny tie and powder blue oversized shirt at the event which coincided with Frieze London – one of the world’s most influential contemporary art fairs, showcasing contemporary art and living artists at London's Regents Park every October.

The pair wore coordinating black and white stripe jackets and whilst Sir Rod opted for a white top and scarf and matching striped trousers, Alastair went more understated with a black top, trousers, and loafers.

Penny also rocked a pair of denim shorts on holiday in Miami with a white tee and oversized shirt for a casually stylish look showing it isn't all about turning heads in beautiful dresses like the floral number she wore during an extended stay in Spain with husband Sir Rod.

We admire Penny for not letting her crutches hold her back sartorially. Though crutches are a hard accessory to work with, the way she embraced the flats and styled it out with a fresh take on a power suit that offered us all style tips for when we want to leave the heels at home.
